WHAT'S CLOSE BY??

The property is walking distance from the local general store which, has everything you could need including great coffee, food, alcohol, papers and mags, fuel for your car/boat, take away food etc etc.
CARAVAN PARK CAFE called Fish Inn.
You can see this cafe from the house and if you follow the walking track around the lake you will pass right by. This is a great place to stop for a coffee, breaky, lunch or dinner.
Friday and Saturday nights is their specialty, where they serve great pizza and other take away foods. You can in (just bring your own drinks/grog) and eat in or order take away.
Call 5777 3572 and Charlotte and Tom will be happy to help you out. Just tell them you are staying at Paula's Place!
BOAT RAMP is about a good stones throw from the property, which means you can watch your boat being launched and skiers skiing from the property. This boat ramp may or may not be open depending on the water levels. The good thing about Goughs Bay however, is that there are many boat ramps to launch your boat around the Bay area no matter what the water level. When the lake was at its lowest the only place you can launch your boat is on a ramp, was at Goughs Bay!! Water level currently at nearly 90%
BOAT CLUB!! CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS. SHOULD RE OPEN BEFORE XMAS 2024 ALL VISITORS ARE WELCOME!
This is a MUST VISIT and open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday but on January it will be open for Lunch and Dinner every day. Its a great place to sit and enjoy a cold one overlooking possibly the best view of Lake Eildon you will find. Prices for drinks are the cheapest around.!!!!
MANSFIELD TOWNSHIP is only 12 Min away and that has everything you could want and more. The restaurants, pubs and coffee shops are all worth a visit and the strip shopping is fantastic. Just keep in mind that most shops do close on Saturday afternoon and Sunday.
